Anyone heard of him?
He spent seven years as part of the recruitment and player development department from 1999 to 2007 for the Cows and he's just been appointed football operations manager at Norwood.
Apparently he got the gig by committing to being as half as good as James Moore within five years.

Mark Ross - also known as "Rossie" - is a very switched on fella who has watched more games of footy than I would care to think about.
Very knowledgeable about the game and has a good eye for raw, young talent.
Is a very strong Norwood man and can be quite opinionated, but that is what footy passion is all about.

Thanks for that Maxy, sounds like exactly the type of person our club needs.
Dutchy, I don't think thats been discussed before, but I'd say your source is close to the money

Record after that game:
Norwood 4 wins 8 losses
Glenelg 10 wins 3 losses 2 draws.
In hindsight, I think that game was a turning point in the season for both teams - it gave Norwood an inflated opinion of their ability, and it made Glenelg realise it had to tweak its gameplan and put more effort in to be successful.

LOL ... Oh, I didn't realise we were talking hindsights now ... In hindsight, Glenelg won as many premierships as Norwood last season
